1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionThis study compared the clinical characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility of uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis (APN) caused by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with uncomplicated APNs caused by E. coli and K. pneumoniae admitted to Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital between February 2014 and December 2021.

resultsWe enrolled 497 patients (372 with E. coli infection, 125 with K. pneumoniae infection). Male, healthcare-associated infection, solid tumors, liver cirrhosis, chronic renal disease, solid organ transplantation, and antibiotic usage within the last 3 months were more strongly associated with K. pneumoniae uncomplicated APNs than with E. coli. Bacteremia and fever occurred more frequently in E. coli uncomplicated APNs. Antimicrobial resistance rates to piperacillin/tazobactam and carbapenem were higher in K. pneumoniae. Antimicrobial resistance rates to aztreonam and ciprofloxacin were lower in K. pneumoniae. Thirty-day mortality was more observed in K. pneumoniae group in univariate analysis, but this difference was not observed after adjustment. Male sex, ultimately fatal disease in McCabe, and prior antibiotic use within 3 months were more associated with K. pneumoniae.

conclusionsMale, underlying diseases, and prior antibiotic use was more associated with K. pneumoniae. Further study will be needed that microbiome of each situation and the related with the distribution of the strains.
